Out of Order

I have much more to say about preparing the pool, but today was too exciting. I went out to finish my alligator painting. I prepared the paint and took it out. I got on my noodles, grabbed my 2 scoopers for the algae, and got into the pond.

I felt something on my chest and looked down at a small brown snake. He was as scared as I was and immediately jumped off and swam away. I backed into my fountain and knocked the head off. It sank fast, and I tried to find it with my foot. I cannot explain how slippery 2 inches of algae is, but sometimes I have a blast skiing down the incline.

As I was slipping and sliding around, my small 17-year-old schnauzer fell into the pond. My son grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and pulled her out, screaming.

o My SO(significant other) came out to scoop up some of the algae patches. He managed to pick up my algae-laden pond lilies. And threw them out. I got out and rescued 3 of the 11. I painted a little on the alligator but didn’t make much progress
